[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was recommended for math 7 instead of pre algebra.  His sol score is two points below the cut off but his other stats are well above— has straight A’s (and a high a in math— I think it was over a 100% for two quarters) and his map score is 255.  I already contacted the school but it looks like the math coach has quit (the math supervisor for all of aps is listed as the person to contact), so I’m trying to ascertain how easy it is to push back on this.  My thought would be let him try and worst thing happens he retakes math 8.

I am really concerned about him not being able to take algebra in 8th grade— is there a path where he can still do that if he is in math 7?  Can we do something where he takes math 8 at virtual Virginia concurrently with math 7 this year?  He wants to be an engineer and right now is very motivated to get A’s so he can do the ib program.  I’m very concerned about what would happen if that was no longer a possibility.

Has anyone fought a recommendation successfully? [/quote]

I could have written this post- kid is above on one metric, a few points below on SOLs, straight As in math.  I emailed the math supervisor and am waiting to hear. It really does sound like it was computer generated. [/quote]
